A mental health clinic for toddlers with developmental delays and behavior problems

Incidence of Behavior Problems in Toddlers and Preschool Children from Families Living in Poverty

“…Upon completion of the survey, each family received a five-dollar gift certificate for a local grocery store and a children's book. Parents who expressed concerns about their children's behavior or scored at least one standard deviation above the mean on the ECBS' Challenging Behavior Scale were provided information about a local mental health clinic that specialized in serving young children from families in poverty (Fox, Keller, Grede, & Bartosz, 2007).…”

Treatment Outcomes for At-Risk Young Children With Behavior Problems: Toward a New Definition of Success

“…The setting for this study was a mental health clinic that specialized in providing in-home mental health services for children five years of age and younger (Fox et al, 2007). The clinic was housed within a non-profit Birth-to-Three organization located within a large urban community in the Midwest.…”
